Happy Thanksgiving!

Lance and I recorded earlier this week and dove into some Thanksgiving traditions. We also talked about Humble, Hungry, and People smart teams, and how none of that matters if employees don't feel safe. We chatted about inductive versus inductive reasoning and not letting people live rent free in our heads.

We're back! It's been two weeks and we've got a lot to talk about.

In this episode Lance and Joshua talked about the balance between humility and competence at work, nobody knows what they're doing, how to find fractional lead sources, what being yourself at work looks like, how we try to avoid gossip, and what return to office is all about (hint: it's not good in a lot of cases).
